Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pneumatic mattress.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved pneumatic mattress.
  • a pneumatic mattress having a plurality of imperforate cells within a cover and means for providing air to flow to spaces between at least some of the individual cells beneath the cover.
  • the individual cells having the air flow between them could extend longitudinally of the mattress, we prefer to arrange them transversely of the mattress. Additionally, we prefer to provide longitudinal edge cells. With such a cell arrangement, we can provide air flow manifolds inwards of the longitudinal cells across the ends of the transverse cells. Conveniently the manifolds are readily bendable, with the edge cells being necked in alignment with a junction between two of the transverse cells, whereby the mattress can be bent for inclination of a torso portion to lift the patient to a sitting position, with the air flow being provided to both a seat portion and a torso portion of the mattress.
  • the cells are preferably tethered at the neck.
  • the cells are covered by a semi-permeable cover, which allows moisture through from the patient to be carried away by the air flow.
  • a replaceable open weave or gauze layer of non-woven material is provided, allowing air flow from one inter-cell space to the next with the cover held from the cells by the gauze layer.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a mattres s according to the invention with the top sheet of a mattress cover removed and
  • Figure 2 is a transverse cross-sectio al end view of the mattress of Figure 1 on the line II- II in Figure 1.
  • a pneumatic mattress 1 is comprised primarily of a single layer 2 of transverse pneumatic cells 3. These are provided as four groups, a head and torso group 31, a seat and upper leg group 32, a lower leg group 33, and a heel group 34.
  • the groups are pneumatically separate from each other, in that all the cells within each group are pneumatically interconnected and separately supplied with inflation air, by a non-shown pump, which performs no function in the invention save providing pumped air.
  • the exception from the pneumatic interconnection is in the heel group which has a manual control for inflating either, both or neither of the heel group cells, for extending the mattress from a shorter to a longer length or vice versa.
  • the cells within the groups are integral in that they are formed from the same two layers of polymeric material welded together to provide the cells and their pneumatic connection.
  • the groups are distinct and detachably connected together as follows:
  • group 33 being strapped to group 34 as explained in more detail below.
  • Two out of three of the head cells 4 in the group 31 and the cells of group 33 are full width, with the other transverse cells being shorter.
  • the heel cells are some 10% shorter.
  • two sides cells 5 extend. These are connected in two ways to the neighbouring cells. Firstly, air connectors 51 on the underside of certain cells in the groups 31, 32, 33 are passed through dumbbell slots 52 in margins 53 of the side cells. Secondly, loop connections 54 are made between individual cells in the groups 31, 32, 33 and corresponding apertures 56 in the margins 53.
  • air supply manifolds 8 extend at both sides of the mattress between the side cells 5 and the cell groups 32, 33. They are formed in the same manner the cells, that is of two welded layers of polymer sheet. They are clipped to the cells by the loop connectors 54. In their sheets 81 facing inwards of the mattress, they are provided with perforations 82, at positions corresponding to spaces 83 between the upper portions 84 of the cells.
  • the mattress has a cover 9, comprised of
  • top sheet 92 with a down turned edge 93, • a sliding clasp fastener 94 joining the two edges,
  • the top sheet is a semi-permeable/breathable fabric through which moisture from a patient can pass inside the cover.
  • the top cover evenly laid on the cells and air being pumped to the manifolds 8, there is air flow inwards between the individual ones of the torso and upper leg cells, in the spaces 83. Insofar as this flow is from both ends of the spaces, it leaves them longitudinally of the mattress via the open weave layer 96 and any local lifting that there may be of this layer from the tops of the cells.
  • the top sheet and the open weave layer are locally pressed onto the cells by the patient's body.
  • the body's weight is supported by the pressure in the cells times the surface area of the cells flattened to support the body.
  • the pressure is set for the body weight such that there is some space 83 remaining between individual cells. Air flows here, drawing away with it moisture permeating through the top sheet of the cover and passing through the open- weave layer to the spaces. In certain areas, such as under the patient's back, some flow will occur through the open weave layer.
  • the invention is not intended to be restricted to the details of the above- described embodiment.
  • the torso and seat/upper-legs cells could run longitudinally.
  • the air flow manifolds could be arranged transversely across the ends of such longitudinal cells.
